@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisanna Hm, the DeprecatedWarnSetting is a little lackluster. It's only useful for settings that have a replacement. It would be nice to make build-hook a deprecated setting for awhile before it's removed, although we won't have a migration guide until at least after the work on extending stores is completed 16:10:05
@connorbaker:matrix.orgconnor (burnt/out) (UTC-8)What do you mean by the extending stores work? (I’m unfamiliar with what the refers to)17:58:39

@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaI also realized it is just for one particular kind of setting, I just went and made my own Setting wrapping class01:35:22

@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverideas on whether https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15572 should be backported and if so to what versions? it fixes a test "failure" on linux 6.19+08:27:25
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever* ideas on whether https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15572 should be backported and if so to what versions? it fixes a nix-functional-tests "failure" on linux 6.19+08:27:51
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Sure. You should be able to add backport tags09:06:27
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)(Nixpkgs committers do have triage perms iirc)09:06:46
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)As for the versions, probably everything that is in nixpkgs09:07:16
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)* Sure. You should be able to add backport labels09:16:36

@arianvp:matrix.orgArianI was wondering. Would a mode where nix evaluator stays alive across invocations make sense? Similar what Buck2 does ?17:49:37
@jfly:matrix.orgJeremy Fleischman (jfly) Morgan (@numinit) built this madness: https://github.com/numinit/flack 17:53:30
@jfly:matrix.orgJeremy Fleischman (jfly)seems like it should be a way to trade off RAM for more eval caching17:54:38
@arianvp:matrix.orgArianIn general would be interested to steal things from buck18:17:17
@arianvp:matrix.orgArianThey integrate with watchman to invalidate evaluation on file changes18:17:28
@arianvp:matrix.orgArianActually they use it for not just eval and also build... But just for eval is already interestinh18:17:52

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve Eelco: It's really interesting looking through the movement on NaN canonicalization wasm issue, I am not too exactly some user choose to make it required and some don't. It might be a good to get some idea from the wasm developers (if it's not required, The question is what is it's use.). 13:14:56

Like are we expected to handle or ignore these? 13:18:17
